Fake THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Playlist: These Are The 1990s, Part Deux

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl is simply too large a concept to be neatly contained within a mere three-hour weekly time slot. Hence these occasional fake TIRnRR playlists, detailing shows we're never really going to do...but could.

Awright there, hot shot: time for a sequel. PART DEUX!

My recent fake TIRnRR playlist These Are The 1990s got a pretty good reaction, so I'm incorporating a few suggestions, adding a lot more of my own extra notions, and concocting a follow-up. As our pal Robbie Rist said in response to the previous '90s playlist, "There was a ton of great music in the '90s. Just hardly any the general public was aware of it.”

So once again, we mix a scattered few popular '90s tracks with more cult faves and obscurities, and we come up with a killer, killer '90s playlist. No acts are duplicated from Part Un, though some individual performers return (including Susan Cowsill, Michael Nesmith, members of the Flashcubes, and Robbie Rist hisself). Will we head from here into a 2000s playlist? Fittingly, only time will tell.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl--y'know, the real one--airs Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, and on the web at westcottradio.org You can read all about this show's long and weird history here: Boppin' The Whole Friggin' Planet (The History Of THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO). TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS are always welcome.
